Day 1
You will be met at Victoria Falls Airport and transferred to your hotel situated near the mighty Zambezi River.
 
Located in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA), where the borders of five African countries converge, the sheer scale of this vast international conservation project is difficult to comprehend. It encompasses a bewildering range of experiences, ranging from the mighty Victoria Falls to the lifeforce of the region, the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers.
 
Check in, settle in and relax whilst you catch your first glimpses of the magnificent Smoke That Thunders first discovered by Dr. David Livingstone and still one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. The flow of water over the Victoria Falls is greatest from February to June following the summer rains, but they are a magnificent sight at any time of year.
 
Note: As there is no lifting equipment at the airport, you will be carried on and off the aircraft using an aisle chair. All Victoria Falls transfers are in a regular non-adapted vehicle.
Day 2
Today we visit the mighty Victoria Falls and its rainforest, which offers magnificent views.
 
Afterwards you may wish to visit Elephants Walk, a small crafts complex where you can see talented local artists and sculptors at work and support them by buying one of their items. Alternatively you can participate in various optional activities, such as a helicopter flight over the falls.
 
In the late afternoon enjoy a cruise on the Zambezi River where you may see hippos, crocodiles and abundant bird life.
 
Note: All Victoria Falls transfers are in a regular non-adapted vehicle. On the Zambezi cruise you will need to be lifted into the boat, so this excursion is only suitable for manual wheelchairs. There is no accessible toilet on board.
 
Take light rainwear for when the falls are full.
Day 3
Today transfer 2-hours from Victoria Falls to the Botswana border at Kazangula. After completing immigration formalities, continue to your lodge situated near the Chobe River.
 
Chobe National Park is Botswana’s premier wildlife reserve and is uniquely situated at the confluence of the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers, where four African countries meet – Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia. The Chobe River is the life-giving force of this region and provides a border between Botswana on the southern banks and Namibia on the northern banks. The river has extensive grassy floodplains on either side, which disappear under the annual floodwaters, making boats the best way of getting around.
 
After checking in to your lodge, enjoy a game drive in Chobe Game Reserve, which is home to some of Botswana’s most spectacular wildlife, as well as abundant bird life. Game viewing opportunities should present themselves almost immediately in this vast game sanctuary and hopefully you will see elephant, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, antelope and other river-based wildlife today. Afterwards dine in the atmosphere that only the African bushveld can provide.
 
Note: Most transfer vehicles do not cross the border, so you may be dropped off on one side of immigration control and collected on the other side by a different vehicle. As a precautionary measure against foot and mouth disease, at the Botswanan border you may be required to have any footwear you plan to wear in Botswana treated by officials, so please carry at least one pair of shoes in your hand luggage for this treatment.
Days 4 To 5
Rise at dawn to take advantage of the best game viewing conditions of the day and enjoy a thrilling open-top game drive in Chobe National Park.
  
Chobe National Park is home to vast herds of buffalo and elephant, as well as numerous other species which roam in profusion and diversity. During the dry season, vast elephant herds migrate from both south and north to congregate in their thousands along the Chobe River – the largest concentration of elephants in the whole of Africa. This migration of wildlife is possibly due to the creation of protected wildlife corridors, which allow the elephants to travel between the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Park (KAZA) countries safely. Also hope to see lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, hippo, kudu, crocodiles, antelope, waterbuck, warthogs, baboons and many other interesting animals before returning to your lodge.
 
Bird life along the river is also plentiful and you can hope to see a Fish eagle, Tawny eagle, African openbill stork, Marabou stork, Sacred ibis, Pied kingfisher, Cattle egret, Great egret, Spur-winged goose and much more, including the glorious Lilac-breasted roller.
 
In the afternoon, enjoy another game drive. After a beautiful African sunset, enjoy the balmy evening and pristine stars of the Milky Way – including the spectacular Southern Cross.
  
Note: You need upper body strength for this safari, as you will need to be lifted into the front seat of the game viewing vehicle. Children < 6 are not allowed on open top game drives.
 
Boat rides on the Chobe River are not suitable for wheelchairs, as the jetty is usually accessed down steep and uneven steps. If you believe you will be able to take a boat ride, you can arrange direct with your lodge to swap with one of your game drives, but this will be at your own risk.
Day 6
This morning transfer to Kasane on the Zimbabwe border. After completing immigration formalities, connect with your 2-hour transfer to your hotel situated near Victoria Falls on the mighty Zambezi River.
 
Located in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA), where the borders of five African countries converge, the sheer scale of this vast international conservation project is difficult to comprehend. It encompasses a bewildering range of experiences, ranging from the mighty Victoria Falls to the lifeforce of the region, the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers.

The flow of water over the Victoria Falls is greatest from February to June following the summer rains, but they are a magnificent sight at any time of year.
 
Note: All Victoria Falls transfers are in a regular non-adapted vehicle. As transfer vehicles cannot cross the border, you will be dropped off on one side of immigration control and collected on the other side.
Day 7
At leisure to relax independently at your hotel in the town of Victoria Falls on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River.
 
Adrenalin seekers come here to participate in adventure activities such as canoeing down the Zambezi River, white water rafting in the turbulent gorge below the falls, abseiling and bungee jumping from Victoria Falls Bridge.
 
You can also enjoy optional game drives in Zambezi National Park, or a traditional 'boma' dinner with African drumming.
 
Note: All Victoria Falls optional transfers are in a regular non-adapted vehicle.
Day 8
Transfer to Victoria Falls Airport for your flight home.
 
Note: All Victoria Falls transfers are in a regular non-adapted vehicle. As there is no lifting equipment at the airport, you will be carried on and off the aircraft using an aisle chair.
